Greek Coast Guard Recovers Dozens of Migrants, Bodies Found Off Crete Coast
Greek authorities recovered the bodies of 12 to 13 migrants from boats off Crete's southern coast, with one report noting a survivor later died, raising the death toll to 13. The Greek coast guard rescued between 18 and 40 people from multiple vessels amid a surge in migrant arrivals from North Africa. The boats were found about 15 nautical miles south of Crete, with rescue efforts involving the coast guard, Frontex, and a Moroccan-flagged cargo ship. The cause of deaths remains unclear, and survivors were taken ashore for care.
